Extension is slow to activate

[fbricon]

OpenShift toolkit is the slowest of all the extensions I have installed. Taking between 300ms and almost 900ms to activate, on my MBP Pro M3.

We need to look at the events getting activated together when making calls odo to load the view. Also relates to #3850

@datho7561 @vrubezhny @msivasubramaniaan maybe we need to load each view separately instead of loading all at once.

@fbricon Could you please give it a try once again (using the main branch or by installing a VSIX built from the main branch)?

Feel free to reopen the issue in case it's still too slow on activate. Thanks!

Running from main, the bundled extension is still quite slow to activate (from 300ms to 1000ms)

One potential hint is this message when running npx @vscode/vsce package:

This extension consists of 10353 files, out of which 4900 are JavaScript files. For performance reasons, you should bundle your extension: https://aka.ms/vscode-bundle-extension . You should also exclude unnecessary files by adding them to your .vscodeignore: https://aka.ms/vscode-vscodeignore
DONE Packaged: /Users/fbricon/Dev/projects/vscode-openshift-tools/vscode-openshift-connector-1.14.0.vsix (10353 files, 170.21MB)

Indeed, the zip contains a shitload of .js files, that we should bundle with webpack or eslint:
